  • AMD problems with Premiere?

    Posted by Jimmy Brunger on June 19, 2007 at 9:41 am

    I ‘ve just read another post on here saying to beware of AMD chipsets with Premiere…Can anyone elaborate?

    I am thinking of a short-term upgrade to an AMD Athlon X2 Dual 4200+ and an ASUS A8NSLi mobo….any known problems with this config?

    Cheers

    I’ll repeat the answer to the other thread:
    “As long as the processor is a AMD64 either single or dual core it has a SSE2 or better extension set which is what Ppro 2 requires.”

    I’ve got a seat of Ppro2 on a AMD64 X2 4800+ with a Asus A8NE with a PNY Quadro540, and 2gigs memory, I’ve got another on a Laptop that has a AMD Turion64 TL64 X2 all work with no problems.

    I’ve got a dual Opteron 252 that I work with Premiere and the Production Studio package as a whole quite well…

    My AMD machine does just fine. This is a touchy issue for some though like politics or sports teams and if history is any indication then there will be a sizable contingent telling you just to go Intel.

    Great stuff, thanks guys. I don’t use PPro2 that much, but just wanted to doublecheck.

    We’ve had PPro 1.5/1.5.1 and v.2 running on a single core
    AMD 3.4Gz/3 Gb DDR400 RAM/nVidia cards (various) for
    a couple of years with no probs. The only grind to the
    system is – unsurprisingly – the Magic Bullet PPro suite.

    We’ve also got 1.5 and 2 running on an AMD duo-core 2Ghz laptop,
    and it’s great.

    Chipset issues mainly come into effect when you add accelerator cards such as the Matrox RTX range. The NForce chipset is one such issue. If you need to add an accelerator for realtime playback with multiple streams and effects – check the manufacture’s supported list first.
